Introducing the Ron Mexico Pale Ale 5 Gallon Beer Recipe Kit
When we first got our hands on experimental hop HBC 438 (nicknamed Ron Mexico and now known as Sabro), we couldn't wait to design a recipe around it. This delicious Pale Ale is based on the unique characteristics of this hop, with enticing aromas of stone and tropical fruit, orange, mint, and herbal notes.
The Story Behind Ron Mexico
The story of this hop is really unique. Traditionally, hop breeders finish testing experimental hops internally before releasing them to the commercial market. But with HBC 438, they're flipping the script and releasing it exclusively to the Homebrewing community first. This means that professional brewers will be reading your reviews and seeing what you thought of this hot new hop.
A Beer Recipe Kit for a Good Cause
What's also cool is that all proceeds from the sales of these hops go to ALS.net and help fund the ALS Therapy Development Institute, the world's largest non-profit biotech focused entirely on ALS Research.
Our Take on a Ron Mexico Pale Ale
Our recipe kit includes malto dextrin for body, crystal 60 for color and richness, and our Ultralight malt extract for a great malty base. This combination creates a delicious Pale Ale with a unique flavor profile.
What's Included in the Kit
Our recipe kits DO NOT include grain bags, yeast, or priming sugar. To find our yeast recommendations, choose your preferred kit option and select the drop-down menu under “Yeast Options”. For more info, click on the recommended yeast(s) below in the “You Might Also Need” section below. All included steeping grains will come milled.
Liquid Malt Extract (LME) vs. Dried Malt Extract (DME)
MoreBeer! recipe kits are offered in both Liquid Malt Extract and Dry Malt Extract so that our customers can choose the format that best suits their needs and brewing style. LME is a viscous liquid, similar in consistency to maple syrup. In addition to being the more affordable option, many brewers find LME easier to handle than dry extract. DME is more condensed and comes in a powder format that is similar to baking flour.
